Suite Dreams Royal Baby Hotel Room

What Will the Royal Baby's Nursery Look Like?
With Kate Middleton due any day now, it's only a matter of time before Prince George's new sibling moves into the royal nursery. And while we probably won't get a peek into the sure-to-be-stunning room for some time, London's Grosvenor House is helping us fill the void in a truly royal way. The hotel, along with Dragons of Walton Street, has transformed one of its Premium Park View Suites into the "Suite Dreams" nursery, a quintessentially British room filled with bespoke, handcrafted, and hand-painted nursery furnishings inspired by the hotel's rich history and idyllic views of Hyde Park.
Dragons of Walton Street is no stranger to royal nurseries. The Mayfair-based shop was the decorator of choice for Prince William's, Prince Harry's, and their cousins Princess Beatrice's and Princess Eugenie's nurseries. While in London for the Cybex by Jeremy Scott launch event, I visited the quaint store and saw its beautiful designs firsthand — including the exclusive license for Beatrix Potter. They're nothing short of exquisite. For this project, Dragons commissioned five different artists to create new artwork for the suite. The total price tag for all the furniture included in the suite would be a whopping $39,640!
Staying in the suite comes at a price, too, as you can imagine. Of the three available packages, the Buckingham package is the most luxurious, featuring a three-night stay starting at $9,561 and including a full baby concierge service — pickup from the airport, an evening of child care, dinner for two at the hotel's steakhouse, a complimentary cut and blow dry at Sanrizz for moms, a shave at Alfred Dunhill for dads, a private consultation with Dragons of Walton Street, a private tour of Buckingham Palace, a personal shopping trip to Harrods, and use of a Balmoral Silver Cross Pram throughout your stay.

@ Gas God Turi,what is your opinion regarding low gain fuzzes (i.e., Ge FFs and the like), Silicon vs. Ge sound etc.? im thinking kasi of tweaking an FF to lower its gain, i dont know how much fuzz afficionados like low gainers.o talagang high gain talaga type ng madame?
and update, yung Si FF dun sa Hagaren Fuzz ko is wala na. pinalitan ko ng another low gain fuzz, not based sa FF/TB/FR. and wow, clarity! sarap idale ng rhythm parts!the Si FF is pulled out for "operation" hehe.
I'm using germaniums for my rehoused Fuzzface. Dual germanium as stock of them red fuzzfaces i got two years ago. pretty high gain which is what i want as well.um, im lost. madame? sino? ha? you think I'm a she? or you have chicks you can recommend that i can treat to dinner? make high gain fuzz pedulz man. FF type pero mega oscillators. oh, switchble channels via stomp switches. not toggles. lemme know what you've got cooking, id love to try them
hehe thanks. update: im on the process of tweaking new fuzz circuits, parang nagsasawa na ko sa sound ng vintage fuzzes e. mas trip ko magkalikot ngayon kesa gumawa ng straight clones. para mas customized.meron din akong natapos na heavily modded Si FF. it has a pregain control which is think is key to its tone. ibang-iba.
eto na, Automail Fuzz ko. pardon the cam phone shot. and the crap paint ("for personal use" kasi reason ko kaya atat akong isalpak kagad yung mga components even before the paint hardened. ayan tuloy, crummy.).ayan yung "secret fuzz" ko. and yung mosrite is hindi talaga mosrite. type ko lang yung name ---------------------------im learning more, and i think im really learning fast considering na i only started building them last march ata kasi i couldnt get a "boutique" pedal to work (i bought it btw. no, i had it made for me pala) when i had it. talagang cheapness is the no-no, sobrang hassle! grabe naman. how long does it take to etch a PCB? and ship a kit of components? two months?------------------------------edit: hindi talaga ganyan kasama yung paint nyan. ewan ba. stoopid phone cam.
great job man. let me help you with the parts. send me an email dirtcraftcustom at gmail dot com for all the parts that you will need and please provide accurate links as well. please include the quantity. i can have them shipped here in 2 weeks time tops if the whole list is complete. add me up as well on ym: firstname.lastname@example.com
so when am i gonna have a run on your fuzzes?
hehe, nasa stage pa ko ng page-exeriment ng component values na tugma sa taste ko, and not sure if others will like it.
and location, my Gahd, Batangas pa ko. maganda sana kung magkapitbahay lang no? ang problema naman e baka mahawa kagad ako
ang balak ko pag natapos ko is i-ship tapos lend it for a couple of gigs. samahan ko ng something like a checklist para magka-idea ako ng solid feedback, and kung anu-ano yung strengths and weaknesses for imrovement naman ng builds ko. then pasa naman sa iba for judging hehe.
magiging Journeyman kung anuman yung pedal na papadala ko. pag-aralan ko lang muna maige, di din kasi pede ako maglakas ng amp ag gabi, nababato bubong namen e nyehehe.
parang nagsasawa na ko sa trifecta, parang gusto ko talaga ng fuzz factory

In the Blog
Julian Assange, founder of whistle-blowing WikiLeaks, has been the subject of global controversy after his website released 1500 secret U.S. diplomatic cables to the public, igniting the rage of U.S. government, and media and earning praise from progressives arguing for transparency and truth.
After the cables were released, it was reported that Assange had been accused of sexual assault by two different women. On August 31, Mashable reported that Swedish authorities had withdrawn their warrant for Assange, who had fled the country and escaped charges. Last week, Assange was arrested by Interpol on these same charges.
In the meantime, as Jaclyn Friedman wrote, "pundits right, left, and center got busy painting the accusations as frivolous and the accusers as lying, scheming sluts." You know, what usually happens when a woman reports being raped by a powerful man. Assange is being defended by prominent lefties like Michael Moore, who even contributed $20,000 to Assange's bail and encouraged others to "…not be naive about how the government works when it decides to go after its prey. Please – never, ever believe the 'official story.'" Or in other words, "don't believe these women."
Assange's defenders rely on the importance of WikiLeaks to clear his name, while many calling for serious inquiry into the charges against him are accused of siding with government control and secrecy. What we're seeing here is profound reductionism and black-and-white thinking. While there's no doubt in my mind that Assange's arrest was a political move, I think it is crucial to acknowledge that WikiLeaks is much more than its founder. And while thorough criticism and exposing of government activity is important, so is serious inquiry into allegations of rape.
Today, Assange was released on bail, thanking "members of the press who were not all taken in and considered to look deeper in their work." I can only hope that these "members of the press" continue to look deeper into the allegations made against Assange and stop dismissing them.

@Astro_Paolo and views from space: "It's amazing!"
Paolo Nespoli, ESA's astronaut working and living on the Space Station, is sharing his experience with the world via a constant flow of beautiful photos and tweets. Let's hear from Paolo what he thinks about the photos, Twitter and being in space.
Paolo has been in space now for almost two months on his MagISStra mission, with a hectic schedule of working on experiments, doing International Space Station (ISS) housekeeping and maintenance, supporting the docking of two cargo craft and conducting robotic work, as well as daily training. But he has still found time to tweet from space.
Listen to Paolo about the Cupola:
I receive between 200–500 tweets a day and they are all extremely interesting!
In just two months his Twitter account (@astro_paolo) has gained almost 20 000 followers and his pictures on Flickr have had almost two million views.
His followers have nominated him for a Shorty award (the Twitter 'Oscars') and he is now shortlisted in the Science category.
"I wish that everybody could have a possibility of being up here and looking down to Earth, but as this is not possible so far I'm happy to provide these views and feelings to people."
Looking down from Cupola
Cupola, with its seven big windows, is a unique place in the Space Station. From there, astronauts can see almost 180° to the Earth-facing side of the ISS.
"Flying in space and locating the objects around is not easy. The main reason for Cupola is doing robotics, moving cargo with the Station's robotic arms, and in this Cupola really enhances our capability of being very efficient in space."
What is the most beautiful view Paolo has seen?
But Cupola has also turned an orbiting laboratory into a home. "When I have free time, even only 5 minutes, I just hover in Cupola looking down," explains Paolo.
"It is amazing, because I find constantly something new. As the Station is moving very fast, the view is changing all the time and the lighting conditions, season, position of the Sun and the whole situation is never the same."
Paolo describes his feelings:
"I have managed to get most of the targets I wanted to photograph, like the pyramids of Egypt or the Great Wall of China, but there are still a few things I would like to catch. Like the Nazca Lines in Peru. I really would like to see those!"
Sometimes Paolo has a certain target in his mind, but often Paolo just snaps a photo when something interesting appears below.
Listen to Paolo:
The Artist and his model
"Earth is a beautiful subject and one of the most magnificent models that a photographer can have," says Paolo, but confesses: "It is also an easy target if you are up here and you have a good camera with a few lenses."
"But it is also a challenging model, because we are flying so fast, the view changes continuously, the situations are practically never the same, the angle of the Sun varies, the clouds are moving, and so on.
What kind of model is our home planet for Paolo?
"Earth is different every single moment – and that is really the beauty of this model."
Paolo about his photographing methods:

Congrats to T2H on reaching the 900 cache milestone. And to think you were never going to pass me....lol. Way to go Gary and hopefully I'll get there soon as well.
Congrats to T2H on reaching the 900 cache milestone. And to think you were never going to pass me....lol. Way to go Gary and hopefully I'll get there soon as well.
Just smile it won't crack your face
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is
suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
Can we start planning the #1000 find celebration?
Congrats on 900....that's a lot of miles in the Team Tahoe.
A cache by any other name is still a cache

Holy smokes!!!! Congratulations!
~ Beach Comber ~
Way to go! Soon you'll join the rest of us at the "1K Club", and get to learn the secret handshake. Cool!
While caching in Nova Scotia with Mumsbee and the Old Drone (who have finally out-cached their ages and are approaching 100 finds), I found this pin in a cache and quickly grabbed it to give to Team2hunt. It says, "Cachers Anonymous.... I'm ADDICTED! The only 12 steps I'm taking are towards the next cache!"
Yeah, yeah... sometimes it is the numbers; especailly if you are approaching 1000.
Now put down the GPS and wait for me.
Happy Trails!
It has been the summer to remember. I gave up tracking the mileage after about 6000 miles, 3800 to Florida. I have seen places in Maine I knew existed, but had no idea of where they were. I have experienced things I have only been able to " read " about, before I met Karen. Tom taught me to " never waste a minute ", and Brad " BOU!! ". Thanks to kayakerinme, and Ordinary Shark, for caching with me, on land and on the seas. Thanks to everyone who has shared a cache find with me, espicially 1manteam. Who never says no to a few caches, like 10. I was trying to save #1000 for our 2 year anniversary 12-25-2006, but I do not think it will take that long. Geocaching has been a great journey, and every cache has a story. And like Haffy, I can remember most of them.
Why not live life like it is your last day....instead of pretending to be a member of the Peter Pan Club and believing you will be around forever.

First, a quick update on musician Dan Pavelich's goal to raise $750 to cover the cost of manufacturing and promoting Hi-Fi Christmas Vol. 3. All of the profits from this various artists holiday CD will go toward helping to find a cure for the blood disorder Von Willebrand's Disease. Pavelich, the singer-rhythm guitarist for the Chicago power pop band The Bradburys, recently said he's more than halfway there but only has three weeks left to reach the total.
While there are enticing giveaways for those who contribute $25 or more, any amount will will help. The first two volumes of Hi-Fi Christmas featured original and traditional songs from artists like The Spongetones, The Bradburys, and Jim Babjak of The Smithereens. So a donation will not only help fund some much needed research for Von Willebrand's, it will bring another fun batch of power pop holiday tunes. Check out www.indiegogo.com/Hi-Fi-Christmas-Party-Volume-3-1 for info on how to help.
Here's a CD review that originally appeared in the Illinois Entertainer. It's the follow-up to the 2009 release Here's The Tender Coming, which I reviewed previously on this blog.
The Unthanks once again conjure images of 19th Century England with lush harmonies and orchestral arrangements, even though Last features modern age compositions alongside traditional fare. The band, led by superb vocalists Rachel and Becky Unthanks, takes an approach that's like slipping a black velvet glove over each song regardless of what era it came from. The results on this third release are exquisite, but at times constricting.
"Close The Coalhouse Door" was written by folk artist Alex Glasgow as a rousing protest against the coal mining industry, but The Unthanks replace political fury with a ghostly ambience that suggests a gothic novel. The band does better with a melodic cover of the Tom Waits tune, "No One Knows I'm Gone," and crafts a stately air for King Crimson's "Starless" as well as band member/producer Adrian McNally's title track. The ethereal "Gan To The Kye," and the playful "My Laddie Sits Ower Late Up" and "Canny Hobbie Elliott" showcase The Unthanks' ability to bring centuries-old musical tales to life through inventive interpretations.

An Investigation of Evidentiality in the Arabic Language
This study investigates one of the semantic phenomena; namely, evidentiality in Arabic from a semantic and syntactic point of view. Specifically, it investigates the effect of the semantic content of evidential verbs in SA on the syntactic structure. The data of this study were generally collected from a supreme Standard Arabic (SA). The analysis of the data reveals that there are many linguistic mechanisms of indicating evidentiality in Arabic. These mechanisms are perfect verb forms and verbs of hearts (?afʕa:l ?alqulu:b) which are, in turn, subdivided into verbs indicating knowledge and complete truthfulness. Furthermore, changing the semantic content of evidentiality verbs in Arabic gave rise to changing the syntactic behavior of those verbs.

Feds find alleged pill pressing site in home
If the modest home in a northwest Harris County community has been the site of a drug-manufacturing business for at least a year, as law enforcement officials suspect, then tens of thousands of illegal pills have flooded streets in Houston and beyond.
Officials base that estimate on the massive amount of pills found on Wednesday in the light-brown brick home with green khaki siding in the 17600 block of Pattiglen in the Copperfield area.
Homeland Security Investigations agents executing a search warrant for "drug-related activity" found the covert facility and thousands of pills, said Greg Palmore, a spokesman for the federal agency.
A 30-year-old man was arrested, but the agency declined to release his name until after he appears in court.
"There was high output," Palmore said, "and he was a mass producer."
The operation was not a laboratory, like one used to cook methamphetamine, but used already prepared chemicals to make the pills, Palmore said.
Up to a quarter inch of fine powder from the chemicals used to make the pills covered the floor and work spaces.
"Every time you moved something, there was powder in the air," Palmore said. "The ventilation system was just clogged with powdery residue."
Investigators brought a mobile testing lab to the home. By applying chemicals to pill samples and noting the reaction, it can provide federal agents with a preliminary identification of the seized material. At least some of the pills tested positive for being Ecstasy, Palmore said.
"There were all different kinds of drugs throughout," he said. "We found pink pills, we found white pills, we found blue pills."
They also found pills that appeared to be pharmaceutical samples, but could have been counterfeits, the spokesman said.
Agents seized pills, chemicals, pill-pressing equipment, cash and so-called synthetic pot.
"They have not even begun to put an estimated value on it because there was so much stuff in the house," Palmore said.
Bags, boxes of evidence
Late Wednesday, agents were still at the home, bagging evidence, including a stack of 10 boxes inside the two-door garage.
Upstairs, where Palmore said the pill-making took place, a red sheet was behind one of the windows and vacuuming could be heard. Agents, wearing masks to ward off chemicals used in the drug's production, were vacuuming the fine powder, an occasional pill and machine parts from at least five industrial pill presses.
"There were a number of machines," Palmore said, "and there were brand-new machines in crates waiting for the other ones to break down."
Assuming the underground facility had been going on for at least a year, Palmore estimated it had produced hundreds of thousands of ecstasy pills. And those pills were likely for customers not just in Houston, he said.
Neighbors surprised
The investigation is still continuing to determine if more people were involved in the operation. The arrested man, who was caught after he had jumped from the second floor and tried to run, did not live in the home, officials said.
A neighbor said she has seen the man at the home for about three years, and that he would arrive during the day. He never talked with anyone and never gave anyone problems, she said.
"I never would have imagined there was a drug lab there," said the woman, who identified herself as Lucrecia. She said she has lived across the street from the home for about six years.
Others in the neighborhood, where well-manicured lawns lined the street, said they had been curious about the swanky cars that would show up in the driveway, including a gold colored Infinity SUV, a customized Cadillac and a souped up '89 Lincoln. Harris County property records value the home at $97,000.
Possible counterfeits
Of the thousands of pills seized Wednesday, some could turn out to be counterfeit versions of known drugs, or be newly created formulas designed to try and skirt existing laws.
In recent years there have been numerous instances of underground manufacturers churning out pills with formulas so new they have not technically been identified. There are attempts to churn out pills faster than authorities can make laws and sell them everywhere from street corners and stores to the Internet.
In 2013, the Houston Chronicle reported that more than 1 million packets of a dangerous, unpredictable new breed of drug were seized in the Houston area by the Drug Enforcement Administration in the past two years, yet criminal charges were rare for those who make, sell or use them.
The packets, generally sold as potpourri or incense, are among the more popular brands of so-called synthetic marijuana taking center stage in a new front in the war on drugs.
Synthetic mimics
In 2012, federal charges were filed against two Houston-area men in connection with a conspiracy that sold drugs that led to the deaths of two teenagers who died in adjacent small towns on the Minnesota-North Dakota border.
They worked with synthetic drugs that include names like 5-dimethoxyphenethylamine are developed to mimic the effects of LSD, cocaine and marijuana but with tweaks in ingredients to try to get around the law.
Authorities worked their way up the drug pipeline, from the people who gave the teens the drugs to wholesale dealers, in building the case against Charles Carlton, of Katy, and John Polinski, of Houston.

Picture this: A student at Portland High overhears a classmate telling a friend he'd "like to blow up the school."
The student does what he's been told: He tells his teacher. Then the teacher contacts the principal and school guard, who immediately haul the offender to an office and lock the door.
The parents are called. So are the police. Mom and Dad show up and say that it was "clearly a joke."
End of story? I don't think so. Police never consider this a joke. They search the student's home and car for bombs. They interview his friends, and maybe bring charges.
The student is likely suspended; the parents probably end up hiring an attorney to get the student back in school. And don't forget the black mark he'll have on his college application.
This scenario would play out similarly if it happened in a courthouse or an airport — or on any public property in this country.
Last week, our governor opened his enlarged mouth and made another of his disgusting comments ("LePage says he'd like to blow up Press Herald," Aug. 9).
He actually said he'd like to "blow up" the Portland Press Herald. His spokeswoman, Adrienne Bennett, once again came to his defense, saying he was clearly joking. End of story. No discipline for this joker.
Can anyone tell me why the good, smart, sensible and well-mannered people of Maine have not stopped this man in his tracks?
Paul LePage is not worthy of the title he holds. He doesn't govern. He bullies and insults good people and institutions statewide, often with a foul mouth. Dumbing down Maine is what he does best.
By the way, I'd like to suggest a new title for spokeswoman Bennett. It should be "Nanny-in-Chief." After all, she does what all nannies do. They clean up after their charges.

Time to speak out against Anthem's barriers to care
I encourage any Portland Press Herald readers who might ever need a hospital to speak out against the changes Anthem is proposing that will eliminate any competition in Maine's health care system.
If these new plans are allowed, all Mainers, regardless of our insurance providers, will see a decrease in access to quality care and an increase in costs.
Maine Bureau of Insurance Superintendent Eric Cioppa wants to allow Anthem's individual and small-group policyholders to be locked out of all local hospitals except for Maine Med and its affiliates. It wouldn't cover care at Mercy or York Hospital or Parkview, to name just a few.
Capitalizing on the confusion around Obamacare, Anthem also wants to eliminate out-of-network providers for their policy holders in southern Maine. Anthem's desire to have a health care monopoly, not any requirements in the ACA, is the driver behind these changes.
Thankfully, Anthem is not my insurer, but these changes will affect the entire health care system in our state. Even with the ACA health care exchange, Anthem continues to be one of the biggest insurers and would exclude thousands of Mainers from facilities and providers. This jeopardizes everyone's access to quality care.
Health care is expensive enough without Anthem's artificial barriers to competition and availability. Say "no" to Anthem controlling Maine's hospitals, doctors and health care consumers.
People can contact the state insurance superintendent at [email protected] or speak up at:
• Thursday, 5 p.m.: Talbot Lecture Hall/Luther Bonney Auditorium, the University of Southern Maine, Portland.
• Friday, 5 p.m.: CFB Conference Room, Richard Dyke Center for Family Business, Husson University, Bangor.
• Aug. 29, 5 p.m.: Kirk Hall, Central Maine Community College, Auburn.
• Aug. 30, 5 p.m.: Campus Center Allagash Room, University of Maine at Presque Isle.

Pingree helps protect state from air pollution's dangers
Maine families and businesses need healthy air to grow and succeed. When people are healthy, children do better in school, workers are more productive and businesses can add jobs because their health costs are lower.
I would like to thank Rep. Chellie Pingree for continuing to be a champion for healthy air in the U.S. House of Representatives. She plays a critical role on the House Appropriations Committee and is a respected leader among her colleagues.
On July 23, she voted against a 34 percent cut to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's budget. This cut would devastate the agency's ability to monitor and enforce air quality and ensure the air is healthy to breathe.
It would also undermine the Clean Air Act and make it virtually impossible to put stronger standards in place for cars and fuels that would take so much pollution out of the air.
The Clean Air Act is a common-sense law with deep Maine roots. Sens. Muskie, Mitchell and Cohen all had a hand in its design and reauthorization. It's a law that has been working effectively to make our air healthier for over 40 years.
The Clean Air Act protects public health by reducing levels of smog, soot and other air toxins, and it gives the EPA the power to clean up the air. It includes life-saving protections from dangerous air pollution, especially for downwind states in the Northeast.
We need a strong Clean Air Act now more than ever. And we need strong lawmakers, like Chellie Pingree. Together, they are the best tools we have to protect ourselves from dangerous air pollution.
Douglas Couper, M.D.
Story on bazaar preparations tribute to Italian community
Not that long ago, the Italian-American population in Portland was a sizable percentage of Portland's total. We are still out here.
What you did in your article is a wonderful acknowledgment of our quiet, yet highly productive and close-knit community ("For Portland's Italians, a cookie bonanza," Aug. 7).
Many of us come from all over Maine every Sunday to attend Masses and events at or held by St. Peter's. We quietly give thousands and thousands of dollars to charities and put in countless volunteer hours for several causes.
I thank you for our community. I thank you for Portlanders for a "good-news" article. Ciao!

We arrived on site this morning and the atmosphere was hot and humid, with thunderheads looming on the horizon. Rain in the badlands is a problem…but lightening can be life-threatening. We only have a few more days to finish our site survey and remove a few obvious bones that might not make it through the harsh Dakotan winter.
Today we had planned to extract a rather stunning bone, but the lightening storm slowly shifted over us and started to spot the dry dirt with rain. Usually we would turn tail and head for the field vehicle, but we took a gamble and hunkered down under a butte. Thankfully the storm passed over and we could head-off to get plastered. The single tibia that stuck proud of a channel sand had a stunning surface texture and a possible bite mark from a large predator. The removal procedure involved plaster, bandages, copious amounts of water and a bucket. Carl Mehling pointed out that we were reenacting a scene that has been played-out countless times in the Badlands. The temperature was rising at our site and Carl whipped-out his multipurpose tool to open the plaster bag to start the field-jacketing process.
The bone we intended to collect still lay in the wall of the butte. The prior day we had completely exposed it, and identified it as being a large tibia from an Edmontosaurus. We had named the specimen Phindy, as both Jennifer Anne (aka Indy) and I had discovered the bone earlier in the week. Carl was clearly impressed by Phindy's huge bone.
We soon got down to business and started encasing the bone in a field jacket for extraction. I checked that the initial bandage jacket had dried from the day before. It was nice and hard, so I could get to work on the bone. We mixed-up a batch of plaster, Carl pouring water into the bucket…as I poured plaster into the mix. The goopy mix soon started to get hot and I worked the mixture until it was nice and smooth, indicating it was nearly ready to smother the bone with. This outer jacket would provide the final protection for the bone for its long journey from the Badlands of South Dakota to New York City.
As I smoothed the mix over the shaft of the bone, Carl and Indy watched and offered 'helpful' words of encouragement….that might alter the rating of this blog so forgive there omission. The goop started getting hot, as the exothermic mix began to harden around the bone. I had to keep moving the mixture over the bone, keeping it smooth and even as it hardened.
Tomorrow we will be able to safely remove this awesome bone from its 65 million year old Hell Creek tomb.

Fiesta Texas' famed Rattler is going silent
The Rattler won't be rolling any more after Aug. 5.
Six Flags Fiesta Texas announced Monday that its landmark wooden roller coaster — once billed as the fastest and tallest wooden coaster in the world — will carry its last rider that day.
What, if anything, will replace the 20-year-old ride was not something Fiesta Texas officials would discuss Monday.
"All I can say is, it will be going away on Aug. 5," park spokeswoman Sydne Purvis said. "That's all I can tell you."
The ride, a nearly mile-long, 180-foot-high structure of Douglas fir tracks and southern yellow pine supports, is one of Fiesta Texas' signature features. It was the park's only adult roller coaster when it opened in March 1992.
So highly anticipated was the ride when the park opened that visitors waited in line for as many as three hours to take their seats and then got back in line for another turn. It has won thousands of fans over the years.
"It's one of the few coasters that literally scared me," said David Lipnicky, public relations director for American Coaster Enthusiasts and a Grand Prairie resident who was there when the ride began and has come back for more thrills every year since. "That original, first drop was the single best (coaster) element I've ever experienced."
But the Rattler's bite was a bit too hard, according to some of the park's guests.
The 166-foot drop after the ride started and the curves that pulled riders with up to 3.5 G's of gravitational force were blamed for a variety of neck, back and shoulder injuries that led to lawsuits by dozens of riders.
Park signs warned riders that the Rattler was "an aggressive, high-speed, physically demanding" attraction that might not be best for pregnant women and people with heart, spine or back problems.
By the 1994 season, the ride was toned down. Its top speed went from 73 mph to 65 mph, and its first drop was shortened.
At the time, Fiesta Texas officials denied that the changes were the result of allegations in the lawsuits. In 1998, the park reached settlements worth $3.54 million in lawsuits representing 27 plaintiffs.
Purvis said the lawsuits have long been resolved and had no bearing on the closing of the ride.
She said the park wanted the Rattler's many fans to know when it would be closing so they had time to ride it one more time.
"It's kind of the end of an era," she said.
Howard Gillooly, the preservation director for the coaster enthusiasts organization, said it's always sad to see a wooden coaster close, and he predicted that fans would make a trip to San Antonio to take one last ride on the Rattler before it's gone.
Wooden coasters are being replaced by steel coasters in the amusement park industry but have not disappeared altogether, industry officials said. Richard Munch, a member of the National Roller Coaster Museum and Archives board and a founder of the coaster enthusiasts organization, said wooden coasters have not been easy to maintain in the Texas heat. But they continue to be built in Northern states and in other parts of the world, including China, he said.
The most recent census by the Roller Coaster DataBase showed that the United States had 113 wooden coasters and 509 steel coasters.
Munch was surprised by Monday's announcement because he believed the Rattler was in line for refurbishment. He and Lipnicky said they hope Six Flags replaces the ride with another coaster or something that provides the same kind of thrills the Rattler did.
Even after the Rattler was toned down, fans still thought it was an exciting ride.
"It was a wooden coaster, and it was a pretty long ride — one of the longest coasters I've ever been on," said Andrew Cobb, a Texas State University student who grew up in San Antonio. "I'll miss it."

The Northeast Massachusetts Chapter was established to help address the widespread problems of cardiovascular disease that has afflicted many in this region of the state. We were inspired to take steps to prevent sudden cardiac death when Michael's mother suffered a massive myocardial infarction in July of 2001. Thanks to a quick use of a defibrillator, she was shocked seven times and miraculously was able to survive. Unfortunately, we have heard countless stories about others who have not been so lucky. Therefore, we have founded our organization to increase awareness to prevent this tragedy. Our chapter will also be committed to installing defibrillators in local areas which do not currently have AEDs. Among the locations that urgently need AEDs, we plan on using our fundraising to donate the devices to places of worship and schools. Additionally, we are gearing to work with public schools to instill the importance of bystander action such as CPR. We remain optimistic about the potential of organization and we are eager to have an impact in our communities. Offers from local paramedics to assist us has furthered our enthusiasm. Any comments or suggestions are fully welcomed as we strive towards our goal.
Chapter News:
Our First Annual Seven Shocks Golf Tournament was a huge success! Thanks to the participation of our golfers and the considerate donations from our hole sponsors, this event made great strides for preventing sudden cardiac death in our community. We raised over $3,200 during this day of enjoyable competition, making this our most effective fund raiser to date. Our chapter looks forward to placing numerous AEDs with this money in the coming few months. Stay tuned for more!

56 Faith Simpson Ratnayake from England, settled in Sri Lanka: The programme loomed large in my childhood from 1953 until I left UK. Innocent enjoyment, laughter and period ambience. Where the 'stars were twinkling twice a night'. Wonderful memories!
55 Gail May from France: Hi Dee, yes I did get the words, did perform it, and am due to repeat it again next month. I had to get an arranger friend of mine to write and record the piano music for me, as could not find this anywhere.
54 Dick Drake from Glasgow: In answer to the queries re the huntsmen spoof the comedian who performed this was Denny Willis, now sadly no longer with us. A very slick routine as he got more and more out of time with the huntsmen quartet. I think the song was "The red fox he has left his lair" or something like that and I believe it's on You Tube.
53 Ernie b from Tyne & Wear: To (47) Julie, I think the huntsmen could have had a name like the "Folle de Rolles" or similar. It's 40 plus years ago so I could be wrong. Searched You Tube with no luck. Loved them
52 ronald palmer from Essex: The BBC never kept most of the tapes of the programs.
I am really sorry about this because in 1973 and again in 1975 my 2 sons "The james Boys" appeared. Both times being the youngest act ever to appear on the show.
If anyone has a recording I would be very gratefull to hear from them, especially the first mentioned shown on Boxing Day 1973, starring Frankie Vaughn.
51 trace from london: I hated this show almost as much as I hated the Royal Variety Performances, and the Black and White Minstrels - argh!!!
But, as a nostalgic 50-something, I wouldn't mind seeing it again, but only a couple of minutes worth, mind you...
50 Jim Walker from Preston, Lancashire: When you compare the various types of entertainment in a standard Good Old Days programme, you saw great variety and skill. Nowadays a `Variety` show on the television seems to be confined solely to a selection of musical shriekers, smarmy and unfunny comedians and not much else. If you want to go and see a speciality act, you have to go to a circus except there is very little tented entertainment these days.
49 SSgt. Kevin campbell from Wells,Maine.U.S.A.: Would love it if the BBC would release this on dvd! If the show ran so long seems they would have plenty of material.
48 tom brosnan from ireland: highly entertaining show .should be reshown.anybody know the lyrics of song"I had to come down for nails" performed by Leonard Sachs.Hilarious.
47 Julie from Maidstone: I loved the songs with actions... the brilliant six by four and the one about hunting a fox with a line of men nearly hitting each other as they sang "Tally ho tally ho, tally ho" wish I could remember what it was called as I would love to see it again! perhaps someone out there can help refresh my memoryI was only a little girl, I dreamed that one day I would be able to go too... too late now unfortunately. Such innocent times... and no foul language, proper entertainment... sadly missed.
46 Dee from Ashford Kent: I wonder if Gail May from France managed to find all the words of Popsie Wopsie and whether she ever got to perform it?
45 John Riding from Eastbourne: March 17th 1968 my wife to be and I went to The Good Old Days dressed in Victorian costume. We had waited 4 years to get seats for a church party. Is it possible to have a recording of this? There was a close up of my wife - filled up the screen! I hve tried before -could you help?
John Hanson was the star on the programme
44 ron owen from birmingham: why not rerun the series, great entertainment and a viewer catcher, I am now 77 saw every show and loved every minute.
43 ronald Palmer from essex: I saw the youngest act ever to appear on the good old days they were The James Boys on boxing day Dec 26th 1973 one was 11 years and the other was 13 years they were fantastic Frankie Vaughn topped the bill.
42 Theo from Sheffield: Does anyone have the edition featuring JESSIE MATTHEWS? If so please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thanks.
41 Dee from Ashford: Popsie-Wopsie.
Sing to me my little Popsie Wopsie,
Turn the limelight right on me - oh my Popsie Wopsie.
When on that stage you come,
my little heart beats just like a dru-u-um.
I should dream about you all night - to-night,
You're the cutest thing I've seen.
I could kiss you my Popsie but there's one thing stops me -
It's the footlights in-between!
In this is not enough - why not try writing to Ms Steafel? You never know - she might help.
Also - contact nostalgiatv. for a dvd of several Good Old Days shows.
40 Gail May from France: The wonderful Sheila Stefal and Popsie Wopsie - does anyone know the lyrics please? Am hoping to perform this at a charity Music Hall event and cannot make out all of the words - in particular the last line - sounds like FALSE EYES IN BETWEEN!
Hope someone can help.
39 margaret McGregor from West Dunbartonshire: The series brought back memories of my father who was a singer who sang many of the old songs sadly he is dead for many years. one song in particular I would love to hear again is My little wicker wacker in my hand. can anyone one direct me to where I might purchase this song.
38 Ken Long from Newcastle, UK: Does anyone have the dvd or vhs of the Donovan & Byl or Donovan & Hayes act? Please contact me as I am trying to locate it as Donovan was my father.
37 Julie from Preston: I loved this programme as a young child and was allowed to stay up later to watch it. I don't recall the names of the dancers who performed my favourite act but I particularly liked the act that involved a couple dancing who clearly weren't getting along, expressing fact this through the medium of dance to tango type music. Probably not pc enough for today's viewer but great fun to watch. Does anyone know what this type of dance act was called?
36 McCrae from Hamburg: hello! my parents worked in the show in 16/04/1972. They were the acrobatic duo the Macardis. I remember them telling me about it. And I would love a copy of that show. Does anyone have a copy or know where I get one? I would also like to hear from anyone who knew them as it is their golden wedding anniversary next year and I am looking for old friends of theirs! contact me heather(at)mccrae(dot)de
35 Paul A Williams-Petersen from Sweden: I have two VHS videos of 'THe Good Old Days' but I would love to try and get some more. I will then transfer to DVD.
Is there anybody who can help me obtain further programmes of this wonderful series?
34 Roger Hall from Australia: I saw Arthur Askey whilst living in the UK, he sang Busy Bee, funniest thing I ever saw.
33 Philip from Bexhill on Sea: There were some super clips on u tube of Hinge and Bracket, on the show, incidentally , their fan club has one whole edition of the programme on which they appeared, which included Larry Grayson and Fenella Fielding, also Billy Dainty and the super singer Teresa Cahill showed up on clips only. Lets all get on at the BBC for some reissues!
32 Philip from Bexhill on Sea: Denny Willis is the name of the performer with the troop of huntsmen, loved The Good Old Days was my favourite programme
31 Dee from Ashford Kent: With regard to the message from Stephen Bennett - I can only say how extremely jealous I am! WHEN will the tv companies realise what a captive audience they have just waiting to view these gems again?
30 Stephen Bennett from Buxton derbyshire uk: well I am lucky to say that I have about 12 episodes of the good old days on video and transfed to dvd! I used to think "Do i go down to the pub or buy a video tape for Ł15.00" I think I did the wise choice! .. dont you!! they great to watch even some of the "unknown" spec acts
29 Dee from Ashford Kent: In response to John Smith - I have never seen her perform but Doreen Hermitage is now the 'Chairman' of The British Music Hall Society. Anybody who loves the Good Old Days and Old Time Music Hall should take a look at the British Music Hall Society website and maybe join the society which aims to keep Music Hall alive. Strength in numbers!
28 dee from ashford kent: Sheila Steafel singing 'Popsy-Wopsy' is hilarious. Everything about 'The Good Old Days' was just brilliant. Real entertainment - wonderful costumes (for the audience too!).
Todays rubbish tv? Give me the Good Old Days every time.
27 John Smith from Cheshire: Hi,
The finest singer ever to grace the stage of ' The Good Old Days' was Doreen Hermitage.
Does anyone know where she is now?
Sincerely yours... john
26 jane from: what happened to singer anne morgan
25 Dave Parkin from Barnsley: I was lucky to attend a Christmas show recording in the late 1970's which featured the late John Inman. The Producer, Barney Colehan came out on stage before Johns spot and asked the audience to make an extra special effort to support John in the song - Have You Ever Seen a Straight Banana? apparently he was incredibly nervous, it was his first time at the City Varieties. We did and it was hilarious! I have very fond memories of 'The Good Old Days' and would love to be able to see the shows again on DVD.
24 Creek from Tasmania: We're trying to find episodes (any/all) of The Good Old Days on DVD to help out a local rep theatre; can anyone help?
23 Doris Hicks from Perth Western Australia: I hoped the BBC would bring out The Good Old Days on DVD. I've recently managed to get Hinge and Bracket Gala Evenings and Dear Ladies and what a feast of entertainment. They are not available in Australia but Amazon has them. Sheila Steafle, Tulips from Amsterdam that filled the stage with flowers, real nostalgia from The Good Old Days. Jan of Great Bowden (No. 17) is that near Market Harborough?
22 Jim Walker from Preston Lancashire: In answer to Paul Goring who wanted to know about the comedy act, it was Denny Willis and the Quorn Quartet. It was the only act they did and they toured the halls with it for many years. The full act can be seen on the internet by using the words Denny Willis.
21 baz toon from doset: denny willis and the quorn quartet did the fox has left its lair i loved watching it great old days not like today tv is full of nasty things now
20 Jean Brand from Australia: In answer to Jan from Great Bowden I do have the sheet music for some of the songs - such as "Give me a ticket to Heaven" but am in Australia
19 Rudolf Mantke from germany/ottersberg: Hello. I have the same questions as Paul Goring had before. I saw Denny Willis in an old video.
I'm trying to find information about a comedy act which appeared occasionally on 'The Good Old Days': it consisted of a line of men in red hunting jackets, lead by an elderly man, who tried but failed to sing a song whose chorus began 'The fox, the fox has left its lair: the red fox, the red fox'. I cannot recall the name of the act, but am considering reproducing the act as part of an amateur music-hall night. Any information (especially the lyrics/music of the song!) would be gratefully received!
Regards Rudi
18 Carol from Essex: In answer to Barbro from Stockholm, the song the Good Old Days finished with every week was 'Down at the Old Bull and Bush'. By the way does anyone know if any episodes are available on VHS or DVD, I would love to see them again.
17 jan from great bowden: I am trying to organise a local good old days production in 2008 for charity. I can't find ANY videos of the TV series so was particularly interested to now Alan from Perth had some - thought Australia is a long way to go and collect them!! I am also looking for sheet music. If anyone can help please get in touch.
16 Robert Dekker from Delft, Holland: I'm also looking for the act Paul Goring from Hasting describes. The theme of the song has been haunting me for ages and I would very much like to see the act again. Does anybody have the act either on video or DVD, or does anybody know of a site where I can find it? Help would be much appreciated.
15 george stewart from edinburgh: leonard sachs was the ultimate host. can you get any of these shows on dvd? id love to get a copy for my auntie margaret 75 years young! that would make her smile .
14 marie from lancaster: I am trying to recreate for a class of primary children the music and atmosphere similar to the show the good old days and need tapes to show them. although i dont remember it mucn myself, i felt that what i need remember was sometimes corny but mostly good
13 graham laws from lincolnshire: Do you remember the old lady who filled the stage with flags, or the lady who tore newspaper into ladders etc. Everyone who appeared did a great job.
12 Jackie Carol from Leeds: I work as a volunteer at the City Varieties and we have a good old days season twice a year. Wish it could be brought back to tv. My favourite was when Vince Hill was on and in the audience were the Gilbert and Sulivan socirty, except nobody told him, and was surprised when the audience joined in.
11 Ken Harrison from Christchurch Dorset: The Good Old Days is just about the only Variety show on Tv now. The "turns" were mostly very good but I would like to put in a word for The Players Theatre who so ably recreated the songs of the great Music Hall days. I hope more of those shows have been preserved for our delectation.
10 melanie walker from Tipton West Midlands: I have always loved watching the Good Olde Days and think it should be returned to our screens as it brings back memories for many of us and interest for the future people of entertainment.
9 clive bradley from ipswich: The BBC is renowned for showing repeats yet this show is never repeated. Sadly only sex, violence and screaming pop idols are favoured. This show was great and the entire stock should be shown for the over 50s enjoyment.
8 Alan Beckwith from Perth, West Australia: My location is Perth, W.Australia, but my origins are in Cumbria, having been hrer since 1969. I was specially please to stumble upon the site concerning The Good Old Days, for I have preserved on several VHS tapes the broadcasts from the City Varities theatre in Leeds and derive much pleasure from them, recently burning to CD some of the vocalists and achieving excellent results. I would like to hear from other devotees of the programmes as I have some gaps in my collection
7 WAYNE from KENT: I am trying to trace an old song that my Grandad used to sing.
Some of the lyrics went:-
Does anybody recognise it?
It sounded that it might be Victorian or Music Hall but I am not certain of that.
Many Thanks!
6 Barbro from Stockholm, Sweden: Today at work we were talking about childhood memories, and what we used to watch on TV in the late 60´s, early 70´s. At that time we only had one channel here in Sweden, so we didn´t have much to choose between, but one of the favourites was definitely "The Good Old Days"! We were also trying to recall which song every show ended with, but none of us managed to do that - can anybody help us?
5 Bobby Thompson from Wolverhampton: In answer to Paul Goring: The leader of the hunt was Denny Willis. You can find out more at http://www.geocities.com/comedy_tributes_uk
Hope this will help you.
4 roger lever from hertfordshire: My fondest memories are of the appearances of the delightful Valerie Masterson, principle soprano (at that time) with the D'Oyly Carte and then ENO. Like many people, I would love to see these shows again but I fear that the new wave at 'Auntie' will not have kept the recordings.
3 Johnny McDowell from Hillsborough: I am trying to establish a potfolio of all of Leonard Sachs television career, and any information, particular anything to do with 'The Good Old Days' would be greatful. Great memories have been served up by Leonard over the years and a tribute to the 'booming brigadier' would be a fitting send off.
2 Liz Gonzalez from Gibraltar: I have very fond memoriws of these variety shows on the BBC. We are haosting an amateur evening and would like to see some of the videos of the shows. Are they available from the BBC? How did Leonard Sachs manage to have such a fabulous script? Did he write it himself. The words are incredible.
1 Paul Goring from Hastings: I'm trying to find information about a comedy act which appeared occasionally on 'The Good Old Days': it consisted of a line of men in red hunting jackets, lead by an elderly man, who tried but failed to sing a song whose chorus began 'The fox, the fox has left its lair: the red fox, the red fox'. I cannot recall the name of the act, but am considering reproducing the act as part of an amateur music-hall night. Any information (especially the lyrics/music of the song!) would be gratefully received!

| 13.7°C Belfast
Chiwetel Ejiofor and Thandie Newton have brought together Hollywood and Nollywood for their premiere of Half Of A Yellow Sun.
The film, in which they play a couple, is adapted from the book by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, set in Nigeria during the struggle to establish an independent republic.
Chiwetel, who was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in 12 Years A Slave, said the book and film held a personal significance.
He said: "It was incredible, I spoke to my grandfather a few years before he died. The conversation took a turn towards his experiences in the war and we ended up doing 10 hours of interviews about it.
"It very closely followed some of the events in this film so I was very moved and engaged to make this film.
"It was a very emotional and powerful journey for me."
The 36-year-old also spoke about how pleased he was to play opposite old friend Thandie for the third time.
He joked: "Two times boyfriend and girlfriend and this is our first marriage so we'll see where it goes from here."
Thandie, 41, added: "This is our third time playing lovers, I think we finally got it right."
She went on: "I've known him for many years, I worked with him on his first film 13 years ago.
"This was a deeply personal film for him and I thought I knew him, but I realised while we were shooting that I was getting to know him in a whole different way."
The Run, Fatboy Run star also said she had been pleased to see her pal do so well during awards season for 12 Years A Slave.
She said: "It was like seeing a family member up on stage. I actually worried about him having to do so much travelling and press, how exhausted he must be.
"It was very well deserved and it's been a great year for him."
The film's other stars including John Boyega, Joseph Mawle and Babou Ceesay, as well as novelist Adichie, director Biyi Bandele and producer Andrea Calderwood, were also on the red carpet for the premiere at Streatham Odeon.
Half Of A Yellow Sun is released in cinemas on April 11.

Mtbr's coverage of NAHBS continued with day two today and we shot video interviews with 23 builders! The videos will be live soon. All of the builders were great and today's list included names such as Craig Calfee, Steve Rex and Steve Potts. We also interviewed builders from as far away as Italy (Pitz!) and the Czech Republic (Festka). But (with no disrespect to any of the others) the highlight of the day had to be our extensive interview with none other than the legend himself, Tom Ritchey. Stay tuned.
In a change from the normal routine, Don Walker (found and organizer of NAHBS) announced the majority of Award Winners at 3:30pm today (instead of the usual announcements and presentation on Sunday afternoon). Virtually everyone was in agreement that this was an improvement since it gave the builders better recognition and show attendees could be sure to pay "extra" attention to all the ribbon winners. Awards were given in various divisions with up to 3 winners per category. The winners are:
Materials Division
Best steel construction – Bishop Bikes, Ellis Cycles
Best titanium construction – Kent Eriksen Cycles, Steve Potts
Best carbon construction – Alchemy Bicycle Company

Donna Brook's The Journey of English states that the English language contains over a billion words, more than any other language, although we commonly use only about 200,000 of them. Judging from most conversations I hear, we use far fewer than that and I couldn't begin to quantify how many of those 200,000 I may have encountered this year. Etymology is endlessly fascinating to me and this simple book is a good introduction to the evolution of English from the steppes of Siberia to the fast-food outlets in Guatemala City. It's interesting to note that English is only about 5,000 years old–and most of that time the language existed in forms unrecognizable to us today. Chinese is approximately 5,000 years old as well but China's isolation allowed Mandarin to develop in a much more homogenous way.
English is a ragtag vagabond, lurching from central Europe to the British Isles and picking up Latin, Greek, Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and French coloring through wars and migrations, raids and intermarrying, from Celtic stronghold to Roman Empire to Saxon and Angle conquests. Tracking the words and how they appeared where they did is better brain candy than a crossword puzzle. Old English gave us the days of the week and the words eat and sleep, as well as the great legends that are the basis for many of our defining stories. The imposition of Latinate Christianity gave us angel, purple, silk and school. The Normans handed off French influence in the guise of parliament, liberty, crown, treaty and tax. The Renaissance with its recovered classics infused English with more Latin and some Greek–most English reflects those two languages although the words we use for the lion's share of our communication, the plainspoken short serviceable words, are from the Old English.
It's possible to get lost in the origins of English, in the sources for scientific terms and the flourishes of the preserved manuscripts hand-copied by monks and the impressive vocabulary of one William Shakespeare–30,000 words–and the King James Bible. Between the British Empire and the rampant spread of American consumer culture and the web–English can be found everywhere. It travels well and leaves traces behind wherever it goes. We've planted a bit of English on the moon. Maybe intelligent beings picking up transmissions from earth in some distant galaxy already speak passable English–there's a scary thought. But, although I wish I spoke other languages far better than I do, I'm glad I have English to write in and to read aloud. Whether you're cussing or declaiming poetry, English is a very satisfying language to speak and hear–and read, of course. Just lose yourself in Dylan Thomas or shout out a little Mos Def, grab some Jane Austen. Toni Morrison or Bob Stone. It's all good. Good–from Old English: "virtuous; desirable; valid; considerable; having the right or desirable quality…"

Yahoo Lets Users Take Notes
If Yahoo's search engine made it easier to organize a ski trip or research a new cellphone, would you use it more frequently?
The search engine–a distant second to Google (GOOG) in usage–is hoping so. Yahoo (YHOO) announced plans Wednesday to start testing a new research tool that tries to detect when someone is doing a research-related search and offers to save Web pages and notes in a separate document for future recall.
The service, Search Pad, is similar to Google's new SearchWiki, which allows users to promote and take notes on search results they find useful and view them later.

Rain, winds and haze during the descent to Titan
The high-resolution images taken in Titan's atmosphere by the Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer (DISR) were spectacular, but not the only surprises obtained during descent. Both DISR and the Doppler Wind Experiment data have given Huygens scientists much to think about.
The irreversible conversion of methane into other hydrocarbons in Titan's stratosphere implies a surface or subsurface 'reservoir' of methane. Although the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini orbiter has not seen a global surface reservoir, and DISR images do not show liquid hydrocarbon pools on the surface either, this instrument's images do reveal the traces of flowing liquid.
The DISR imagers provided views of Titan's previously unseen surface, thus allowing a deeper understanding of the moon's geology. Surprisingly like Earth, the brighter highland regions show complex systems draining into flat, dark lowlands, possibly dry lake or river beds.
Images taken after landing in one of these lowland areas show more than 50 stones which vary between 3 mm and 15 cm in diameter. No rocks larger than 15 cm are seen. This size distribution suggests that rocks larger than 15 cm cannot be transported to the lakebed, while small pebbles (less than 5 cm) are quickly removed from the surface.
From these features, along with apparent 'ponds' and elongated 'islands' oriented parallel to the 'coastline', the scientists can propose explanations for the nature of the brightness variations spread throughout the images.
They appear to be controlled by a flow of 'runny' liquids (consistent with methane, ethane or both) down slopes, whether caused by precipitation or springs.
The light–dark brightness difference can be explained by the 'irrigation' of the bright terrain, with darker material being removed and carried into the channels, which discharge into the region 'offshore', thereby darkening it.
'Aeolian' (wind) processes, such as gusts, and Titan's low gravity may aid this migration.
The surface science lamp worked exactly as planned, permitting surface reflection measurements even in strong methane absorption bands. Operations after landing included the collection of successive images as well as spectral reflectance measurements of the surface illuminated by the lamp from an assumed height of roughly 30 cm.
The infrared reflectance spectrum — the rise and fall of brightness at different wavelengths of light — measured for the surface is unlike any other in the Solar System. There are signs of organic materials such as 'tholins', and dips in the brightness consistent with water ice are also seen. However, the most intriguing feature in the surface spectrum is an infrared signature of a material not matched by any combination of spectra of ices and complex organics found on Earth.
These spectra also show a methane abundance near the surface of 5 +/-1%, which is in precise agreement with the 4.9% in situ measurements made by the probe's Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer. The corresponding relative humidity of methane is about 50%.
Therefore, the surface is not 'bone dry', but this does rule out extensive ground fogs in the vicinity of the landing site caused by methane alone.
Taken together, these new observations make clearer the role of methane in shaping the surface of Titan and how it is recycled into the atmosphere. The substantial relative humidity of methane and the obvious evidence of fluid flow on the surface provide evidence for methane 'rain' and subsequent evaporation. Some hints of 'cryovolcanic' flows may also be present in the images.
By assembling the panoramic mosaics, the Huygens scientists could determine the descent trajectory as part of an iterative process of image reconstruction. The trajectory could be used to derive the probe ground track and see how wind speeds changed with altitude.
They found that the probe drifted steadily east-northeast due to Titan's 'prograde' (in the direction of rotation of the moon) winds. It slowed from near 30 to 10 m/s between altitudes of 50 and 30 km and then slowed more rapidly (from 10 to 4 m/s) between altitudes of 30 and 20 km.
The winds dropped to zero and reversed at around 7 km, near the expected top of the planetary boundary layer, producing a west-northwestwardly motion for about 1 km during the last 15 minutes of the descent.
The Doppler Wind Experiment (DWE) data which were obtained from two Earth-based telescopes have confirmed the findings of the DISR and provided a high-resolution vertical profile of Titan's winds.
The DWE not only confirmed the considerable turbulence above 120 km and the eastward drift in prograde winds, but also the weak retrograde (westward) winds near the surface.
Significantly, this experiment provided the first in situ confirmation of Titan's 'superrotation' (the atmosphere is moving faster than the surface). Unexpectedly, it also found a layer of very low wind velocity between 60 and 100 km altitude, which is presently unexplained.

- Introduction
- Consequences of Non-Compliance
- Steps to Compliance
- Submission Process
- Monitoring Compliance
- UT Health Science Center Resources
- NIH Quick Links
The NIH Public Access Policy is a statutory requirement term and a condition of all grant awards and cooperative agreements. The policy ensures that published results of NIH-funded research are made available to the public.
Scientists are required to submit a copy of their manuscript upon acceptance to the NIH Manuscript Submission system. They must upload the final peer-reviewed manuscript to PMC (PubMed Central) within three months of publication. The full text of the article may be held up (embargoed) in PMC for up to twelve months after publication before it is made available to the public.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
The NIH will delay funding or renewal of non-competing continuation awards with a start date of July 1, 2013, if the applicants' publications arising from grant awards are not in compliance with the Public Access Policy. Read about the upcoming policy changes or view the archived webinar, "Changes to the NIH Public Access Policy and the Implications."
Steps to Compliance
- Applicability: Has the manuscript has been accepted in a peer-reviewed journal? Does the manuscript arise from research funded directly by a grant, contract or program of the NIH? Articles are exempt if they were accepted for publication before April 7, 2008, research is not funded by a government agency, or the work is not a peer-reviewed research article (for example, a literature review, letter, editorial, book chapter or conference proceedings).
- Copyright Considerations: Before signing a publication agreement or copyright transfer agreement from the publisher, authors should make sure the agreement allows the paper to be posted to PMC in accordance with the NIH Public Access Policy. If the publisher's policies on NIH submission are unclear, unknown or non-compliant, consider including a comment, in the publication agreement, that the manuscript "is subject to the NIH PMC submittal requirements."
- Manuscript submission to PMC: Who will submit the publication, author or publisher? Check the author agreement or the journal's website. Some journals automatically submit the manuscript; some may charge a fee for submission. The ultimate responsibility for ensuring submission lies with the Principle Investigator.
- Inclusion of PMCIDs in NIH proposals and reports: Principle Investigators submitting an application, proposal or progress report to the NIH must include the PMCID when citing applicable papers they have authored if those papers arise from their NIH-funded research.
Submission Process:
- Log in to the NIH Manuscript Submission System. You can also log in through your eRA Commons or My NCBI account. Remember to use the same login for subsequent visits.
- Upload the accepted manuscript, or the final peer reviewed manuscript. Always save a separate copy of the final peer-reviewed manuscript in case the submission system experiences a problem.
- Look for emails from NIH requesting or confirming approvals. You will be asked for approval when a manuscript is deposited for you by a colleague or a publisher, and when a web version of the manuscript is ready for final approval.
- Log into the NIH Manuscript Submission system often to check for items awaiting your approval.
Monitoring Compliance
The NIH holds the PI of the award responsible for all compliance, even if the PI is not an author of a peer-reviewed article resulting from the funded research.
- Use the My Bibliography feature in My NCBI to be sure all applicable papers that you have authored are compliant–look for the green icon.
- When planning a paper, make sure co-authors are aware of the compliance process. Be sure all applicable articles, by any of the co-authors, that are cited in the bibliography are also in PubMed Central.
- Do not ignore emails from the NIH as they may contain information about your manuscript submissions.

This is a post where I get to use our "a-holes" tag.
Yesterday morning, during the portion of my commute where I have to use a busy road, I approached an intersection (Wells & Division) with the green light and I kept a sharp eye on opposite traffic to make sure no one turned left in my path. That is a common occurrence because drivers either don't pay attention or think they are fast enough to dart through, so I'm always looking out for it.
I entered the intersection and the opposite driver, who had a clear view of me, began to turn left at the same time without warning. I started breaking, but I wasn't sure if I could stop in time, so I called out, "Don't go! Don't go!" I'm loud and his window was open, so he stopped and as I went by a split second later, he yelled out his window, "Then hurry up, Asshole!"
Can you believe that? Crazy times!
But I will continue to use my outside voice when necessary to ensure my safety. By the time I arrived at work, I was mostly zen about it, telling myself that he must be a miserable person, whereas I only had to deal with him for a few seconds.
I did stop at the store afterward to buy this amazing Icelandic chocolate bar before going to work. Chocolate is my friend.
And it helped that I had the witty banter of Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me whispering in my right ear.
You may have noticed that I was a bit bundled up. With temps in the low 40's, biking in a suit sans sweat is no problem, and now I have to add earmuffs, a scarf, wool tights and gloves. Not just any gloves – my fingers get very cold, so I had to break out these huge Thinsulate reindeer gloves. They're so silly looking, they make me laugh.
Mean drivers, cold weather, whatever.
I will still be out there, enjoying my bike rides. :)

Obama wants to cut red tape for exporters
While en route to Mexico on Wednesday, President Obama signed an executive order that the White House says will significantly reduce the wait time for businesses exporting goods and services outside the USA.
Obama signed what the administration is calling an executive order on "streamlining the export/import process" while he was aboard Air Force One as he made his way to the North America Leaders Summit.
Currently, U.S. businesses have to submit information to dozens of government agencies to move goods across the border. The process can sometimes take days.
Obama's executive directive calls for completing the ongoing building of the International Trade Data System (ITDS) by December 2016. The system will allow businesses to electronically transmit the information currently being sent to myriad agencies through a "single-window."
"This Executive Order is especially important to small and medium companies that depend on global trade," a White House statement said. "Once fully implemented, the ITDS will dramatically reduce the time and expense for businesses to move the more than 50 million containers and $3.8 trillion worth of goods that cross our borders each year."
Obama's directive also calls on the government "to partner with non-government stakeholders to build more efficient business processes and improve border management policies," the White House said. The Border Interagency Executive Council (BIEC) will be tasked with improving coordination among the U.S. agencies with import and export requirements and outside stakeholders.
The order comes on a day when Obama and his counterparts, Mexico's President Enrique Peña Nieto and Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper, are expected to spend plenty of time talking about trade.
Obama is facing a measure of opposition from members of his own party, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, as he seeks to fast-track finalizing the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a major trade deal of which Canada and Mexico are among 12 Pacific partners.

A man is facing weapons and assault charges after allegedly pushing his mother-in-law to the floor and threatening to kill her late Christmas Eve.
Daniel B. Killay, 46, of 21 Betanray Court was arraigned Wednesday in Leominster District Court and charged with assault and battery on a person over age 60 with injury, assault with a dangerous weapon on a person over age 60, improper storage of a large-capacity firearm and improper storage of a firearm.
Mr. Killay was arrested early Christmas morning after his wife called police saying he was threatening to kill her parents. According to police reports filed with court documents, the incident started when Mr. Killay's 69-year-old mother-in-law walked into a bedroom and saw him loading a pistol just before midnight on Christmas Eve. The victim told police she is from Connecticut, and with recent tragedies involving weapons, especially in Newtown, Conn., on her mind, she just reacted and grabbed the pistol from him.
She said Mr. Killay then grabbed the weapon back and shoved her face first onto the floor. The fall caused her nose to bleed. Then, he told her to stay in the room or he would kill her, she said.
At that point, Mr. Killay's wife called police and said he had threatened to kill her parents. While she was talking to the police, he headed upstairs to where her two children, ages 8 and 14, were. She told police she was not sure if he was armed. She then found the pistol downstairs, but she was not sure what had happened to two rifles that had been in the living room.
Police met Mr. Killay's wife outside the house and she gave them the pistol. Officers entered the house with their weapons drawn and eventually went upstairs, where they found Mr. Killay and the children in a bedroom. Officers were able to see he was not armed and arrested him. They also found two rifles in cases at the top of the stairs. One was not properly secured with a trigger lock.
After Mr. Killay was arrested, police said, his wife became upset and had second thoughts about calling the police. Seeing her daughter upset, Mr. Killay's mother-in- law said she did not want to press charges and would post bail for him.
Police confiscated two pistols and two rifles from Mr. Killay.
Mr. Killay was arraigned before Judge Arthur F. Haley III and released on $1,000 cash bail on the condition that he surrender all firearms, refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages and not abuse the alleged victim in the case. He is scheduled to return to court on Feb. 13 for a pretrial hearing.
